There's a problem with that patch.  At one point it removes the
`#ifndef SMALL' while at another important point it leaves the
original SMALL handling in the code:

	#ifdef SMALL
		nextopt("");
	#else
		while ((i = nextopt("erp:t:")) != '\0') {
		[...]

Did you compile ash w/o -DSMALL for Cygwin?  The Cygwin version is
compiled that way.
